Ghost team amenability/roadmap to Admin Editor extension for displaying integration content/interactions

[muffinjello]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any roadmap in-place for extending the ember.js admin web app itself, or any core ghost team to accept PRs that implement this feature.

I understand that the admin API allows us the same level of control as the ember.js admin app, but I would like to implement features that would benefit greatly from being controllable via the ember.js app rather than needing to go out and create/manage a separate admin panel.

Example use-case

For example, one feature I am hoping to get is a “downgrade post tier after X time or on X date” or “downgrade post tier after X posts in this tag/category,” it’s a very common use-case self-published webnovels to have tiers where you can read “X advanced chapters” if you pay a certain monthly fee. It seems very silly to me that I would need to potentially login to another admin panel to just see these settings.
The admin post editor sidebar could be extended to configure these options, or a new page in the admin panel settings screen could be managed to modify these settings. This would not be not unlike how the Settings → Integrations page of the admin panel lets you save settings. (I can’t seem to find documentation on this, unfortunately)

Right now it seems like the only option is to fork the ghost admin, make your custom edits, and then whenever the ghost admin receives an update, manually deal with merging those core edits back into your fork. Which seems unreasonable.

Extending the Editor

Hi there, i’m webdeveloper and worked with classic CMS and GoHugo and VueJS before. I love the subscription model of Ghost and the Editor and i would like to migrate my Personal Page (hugo) and my Outdoor Page to Ghost CMS (hugo + VueJS).

Extending the Admin client

Hi, I’m trying to find a way to extend the admin client functionality, adding new pages, models, controllers, sidebar menus and integrations but I didn’t find anything about it in the documentation neither in the search engine. How is the recommended way to do that without changing the admin client directly? My concern is about sync the admin client changes in the repository with my own changes. There is a better way? Thanks!

Hi! You could ask for guidance to the owner of Magic Pages Ghost hosting service.
This guy has done an amazing job, created from Scratch a very affordable managed Ghost hosting service. Even has added to the admin panel , a customer portal, where user can adjust; domain, and other stuffs. He is very humble and is constantly improving his bussiness.

Haha thank you – just saw this randomly while scrolling the forum.

The way I have taken with the customer portal for Magic Pages is exactly what OP described. A (private) fork – and every update is a merge into this fork (though I have automated this and only need to get involved myself very very rarely by now).
